Particle Coarsening in Multiphase Ternary Systems

Particle Coarsening in ternary, multiphase -multicomponent, systems is quite different than its binary counterpart in that the presence of one phase can affect the coarsening behavior of another. We have shown by analytic analysis and numerical simulation that the interaction between two coexisting phases depends on: solution thermodynamics, diffusivities, and equilibrium concentration differences between matrix and precipitate phases. …
